Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a scatter plot and the regression line using least squares.

We are required to find out how many more goals a player will score for every additional hour of practice.

In other words, we are to find the slope of the regression line.

By taking two points on the line we can find slope of the line.

(1.5,2) and (6.5,6) are points on the line

Find slope using two point formula

Slope = $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} =\frac{6-2}{6.5-1.5} \\=\frac{4}{5}$

near slope is 3/4

Hence answer is option b.
